of on Monday last by the Supreme Court
of New York, affirming Z Judgement
of the lower court. An appeal can still
be taken to the Court of appeals. the
highest court in the State, but as tho

Unanimous, IL is not believed that an

down ia health, was Imprisonment in
the Sing Sing peniteutentiary for the
term of four years. His fate is sad
one, but he was tie sole architect of his

The conclusion that the gypsies wander
ed forth from India is now almost universal
ly accepted, but when or from what part of
India are questions on which few have done
more than idly speculate. Tue identifca-
tion of the gypsies with the Jats, who in
Punjab alone numbered !, 300, ,399 in 1871,
has received the support of many of those
whose opinions or such matters must receive
the greatest respect. In a metrical para
phrase of Genesis, made by an Austrian
monk about II22. they are noticed as Ish-
mselites, and their descent thus credited to
Hagar. There is tale extant that the
wandering instinct of the gypsy is due the
fact that their ancestors refused TO shelter
the Virgin and child in their flight into
Egypt. Tits race has many other names in
addition to that of gypsy, such as Bonem-
ians, in France; Ciganos, in Portugal (;
Gitanos. in Spain; Hiedens, in Holland
Pharaoh-nepek. in Hungary; Tartar, in
Denmark and Sweden; Walachinans. in
Italy; Zigeuner, in Germany, and 50 on.

SUPREME COURT.
A Decision i'm a Tax Case..A Point
Made by Judge MITCHELL.

Made by Judge Mitchell.
The following supreme court decision was
filed yesterday:
Ezra B. Fuller, appellant, VS.. Melum J. Clark,
respondent.
Syllabus-In proceedings under chapter
l35, laws 1881. to enforce payment of taxes
delinquent or void prior to 1879, Judgment
charging land not described in the public de-
linQuent tax list is void. Such Judgment
does not set in motion the nine months
limitation of action provided IN section of
the chapter cited. Judgment reversed and
case remanded. BERRY, ].
concur in the result, but in view of GER
tain differences between the tax law of 1874
and the act of 1884, l am not quite prepared
to say that the decision in the present case is
controlled by Sanbnru VS.. Cooper. / think.
however that the so called limitation of the
act of 1881, assuming that it means all that
respondent claims, is as applied to the facts
OF this case unconstitutional and void. 1t
will be observed that respondent revokes this
limitation not merely for the purpose of de-
feating appellants present action, but also
on the basis of title in himself under this
tax judgment aud sale. He asks in his an
swer that the title to the land be adjudged in
him and such is the Judgment of the court
This permission of the statute is not in
any proper sense a statute of limitation
as 1t does not operate as foundation to prop
erty in possession, neither does it merely
take away certainforms of remedy leaving the
property right of the parties unaffected. See
Kipp VS.. Johnson, 81 Mimi, $50. But it as
sumes to effect 10 declare that q mere claim
of title on paper, unaccompaned by posses
sion, shall ripen into good title as against the
lawful owner in the undisputed enjoyment of
his own property, or where he is in the actual
occupancy of it, or. as in this case. where it
is vacant and the title draws to 1t the legal
possession. The legislature cannot require
person in the uninterrupted enjoy of his
own property to commence an action for the
purpose of yindicating his right against some
word claim existing merely on paper or to
declare that by his failure to do so the title
of his property shall vest in the holder of that
word claim who has never been in possession
under it, Baker VS.. Kelly, IL MIMI, 4S0-495
On this ground think the judgment should
be reversed. MITCHELL. l.
